Features

La Spaziale's Mini-Vivaldi II has an internal water tank, making it a great fit for those who want a double boiler machine but don't wish to allocate plumbing lines for their espresso machine. The Mini-Vivaldi II has a patented coffee delivery system. Utilizing dry steam, drawn from the highest point in the boiler, it maintains a constant stabile temperature at the Group Head. The design also contributes to reduced lime and calcium deposits lowering the cost of maintenance. The La Spaziale Mini-Vivaldi II is a great choice for the discriminating home barista without the need for allocated plumbing.

Dual Boilers

Superior temperature control starts with a 1.2 liter boiler for hot water and steam and .45 liter boiler for brewing. Both boilers are completely independent, turning on and off according to the needs of each, and can be on at the same time. The boiler control button can toggle the steam/water boiler on and off. This mode is useful for those that only drink espresso and do not need steam or hot water and want to conserve energy.

Programmable Dosing Volume

The programmable volumetric dosing feature allows programming of the single & double cup control buttons to dispense whatever quantities of espresso the user desires. Select your ideal shot volume and then easily brew shot after shot with one touch.

Easy Temperature Management

Conveniently located on the front of the machine and indicated on the LED display, the temperature selector enables you to choose the espresso brewing temperature, in 1°C increments ranging from 91°C (195.8°F) to 97°C (206.6°F).
91°C = 195.8°F
92°C = 197.6°F
93°C = 199.4°F
94°C = 201.2°F
95°C = 203.0°F
96°C = 204.8°F
97°C = 206.6°F

4-Hole Tip Steam Wand

A 4-Hole swiveling steam wand is made of stainless steel and features 4 .9mm holes for improved steaming functionality. Hot water for Americanos or brewing tea is delivered via a separate dispenser next to the steam wand. The .9mm 4-hole steam tip significantly improves your ability to create smooth microfoam with the Mini-Vivaldi II.

Temperature Regulation

Sophisticated controls using internal sensors will activate the heater when a temperature drop of at least ½°C is detected. This functionality provides an extremely precise temperature reading in both the steaming and brew-group boilers, resulting in enhanced performance and superior shot extraction.

Automatic Boiler Refill

Driven electronically, the boiler will automatically refill and is mediated by a built-in safety thermostat to ensure excellent temperature regulation without the worry of boiling it dry.

    Options

    Optional 7-day Timer

    Add an LED read-out 7-day timer to program your Mini Vivaldi II to automatically turn on and off depending on your daily schedule requirements. There is a cord already inside the Mini Vivaldi II ready to plug in the optional timer.

    Steam Wand Options

    • Optional No-Burn Steam Wand - Protect your hands with this insulated steam wand.
    • Optional Longer Steam Arm - Need to steam up a lot of milk? This 1/2" longer arm will enable you to use larger frothing pitchers with ease.

    Optional ESE Pod Adaptor Kit

    Transform your Mini Vivaldi II's portafilter to brew with convenient Easy Serve Espresso, (ESE), pods for a mess-free brewing experience.

    Optional Passive Pre-Infusion chamber

    Install the pre-infusion chamber option and program the Mini Vivaldi II's pre-infusion time for 1 to 6 seconds to suit your tastes and your coffee. Once you've set it up, you don't have to repeatedly make selections before brewing - just initiate the shot and the Mini-Vivaldi II will take care of the rest.

    Energy-Saver 15 amp Electrical Service Option

    The Mini-Vivaldi II is capable of functioning in either 15 amp or 20 amp modes. (Note: standard configuration is 20 amps. You can specify the machine be configured for 15 amp service at time of purchase. It will require you to also purchase a Converter Cord). In energy-saving 15A mode the group boiler and the steam boiler are never allowed to operate at the same time. When the thermostats for both boilers try to turn on at the same time, the group boiler which always has precedence will heat first then shut off and next the steam / hot water boiler will heat.

Double bubble boil and no-trouble

I have always been fascinated by machines and have come to appreciate painstaking workmanship and carefully engineered and tested designs. Finding the very best quality design and craftsmanship at a reasonable cost in an espresso machine can be a daunting task. In some cases the beauty and quality is only skin deep and doesn’t extend beyond the polished metal finish, as the structure and type of components can be affected by the manufacturers desire to be cost competitive.

In a quest to find a really good espresso machine one must first think about what makes a great shot of espresso. Clean water, correctly ground beans, careful preparation of the grounds and very precise control of the brew-water temperature and brewing dwell-time along with plenty of steam for milk drinks. Once you find a machine that will help you meet the criteria for great espresso you are well on the way to being a gratified espresso machine owner. And in the case of the class of machines known as semi-automatic it comes down to filtering the water, and controlling water temperature, pressure, volume, and dwell-time for brewing and making steam for milk additions.

The best of breed for controlling water temperature for both brewing and steaming are machines with dual boilers. One boiler is dedicated to making a large volume of hot water and steam for making americanos and frothing and heating milk for lattes and cappuccinos. The second, and by the nature of its job, smaller boiler is dedicated to producing precisely temperature-controlled water for brewing shots of espresso. With this dual boiler plumbing arrangement many features can be added to keep critical temperature needs monitored and controlled.

Breville BES900XL Dual BoilerThinking about these facts I admire two machines in this class, the Breville BES900XL Dual Boiler and the LaSpaziale Mini Vivaldi II Espresso machines. Both machines have programmable controls and pay very careful attention to the brew temperature. Breville as a manufacturer has earned consumer respect for producing very high quality appliances for the home, and the Breville espresso machine is a modern sleek looking design with a great deal of carefully engineered features under the skin. LaSpaziale has a respected Italian heritage, commercial quality components, and very good craftsmanship. And by looking at buyer reviews of the LaSpaziale it LaSpaziale Mini Vivaldi IIis clear that it has a rock solid reputation for steady performance and a growing fan base.

When you get ready to become an espresso machine owner and avail yourself of great coffee drinks either at home or in the office, it would be worth your effort to take a careful look at both of these machines and to compare them to any others in their class.
